I took this thing to thailand for a whole month and it was fantastic. It was compact, had many interior pockets that are very secure for holding money, passport, IDs, etc. Front larger compartment is plenty large for a compact digital camera and the small thumb light it came with was very useful on many occasions on my trip. Back compartment is fully zipper enclosed on 3 sides and opens relatively easily and has slots for 4-5 cards/IDs. Also has zippered compartment for anything else (change etc). Large enough also to hold a digital camera however more snugly.

Outside was a canvasy material that was very smooth looking and not cheap apearing at all.

the cheapest looking things were the clips where the shoulder strap clips into the top of this thing however despite a month of wear and tear and substantial travel in and around thailand... it also survived the world's largest water fight during the thailand Song Kran newyears festival... this thing is pretty awesome. Definitely worth the money. Not stylish enough to use at home, but perfect for travel without looking like you have a fanny pack

Also, the strap can be shortened all the way and i often slung the thing around my waist similar to a fanny pack, but if you're very small and petite i wouldn't try it as it wasn't built for it, but i used it as such.

One other small con, the sleeve built for your drivers license over the flap of the front cover is a little loose. my ID never fell out until after I returned home when it somehow slipped out in my car.

This product arrived on the specified date. It makes the perfect travel organizer for passports,tickets and all personal and business credit cards which can be viewed by only the person using it. An added bonus is the light that attaches securely. This is a practical asset to the product because it can be taken in and out. There are many compartments and plenty of spaces to keep all personal and business information on hand. Anyone would appreciate the places for the their cell phone, ipod and accessories. Its size is small enough to keep on you but large enough to be practical for a trip in the air or a day around the city. I give it a five star. This unisex product is an easy to clean microfiber item and I would not be afraid to put a small water bottle in for the day. A great price for one of lifes necessities.

This bag was pretty much what I expected. It was the right size, the color was a bit off (it looked brighter online). It held about what I thought it would (phone, cards, money, papers, digital camera) but it was a tight fit. My problem was that I used the clear slot under the flap for my ID and it fell out!! I have no idea where and I was on vacation so it was a HUGE deal. Everyone was afraid I wouldn't be able to get on the plane back home. I thought it might fall out but at the same time I figured that slot was made for an ID so it would be fine. It wasn't. DO NOT USE THAT CARD SLOT! That was definitely a disappointment and could have ruined my entire vacation. Part of that was my fault, I should have taken better care of it but I also thought it was made for that.

I use this as a mini purse/wallet inside my larger purse. If I don't want to use my larger fur purse, I just take this one out- it has a shoulder strap which I make it long and wear it cross-body. It holds credit cards,cash,coins,cell phone,lipstick,cigs,whatever-has organized compartments. Material is practical and fashionable-can be wiped clean with water and its a cool leopard print. Good price too. Almost forgot- has a little light inside that you activate when you purchase it. Cool grits with cheese and yogurt butter and sea salt and bacon- good staple for this southern on the go girl. Gotta go to the beach- HAPPY SHOPPING with AMAZON!!!
ENJOY!!!

Two reasons:

1. It's not secure: The magnet on the flap is not strong enough to keep it closed, and the flap has no snap, zipper, or buckle, so anyone could lift it and take your money and credit cards. Why is this billed as a "travel wallet?" Your money would be more secure in a ziplock bag.

2. It's not well-made: The strap broke after a month of infrequent use, and now the bag is useless.

I have a number of Baggallini bags that I love, and I had hoped this one would be similar in design and function and would serve me equally well. Goodbye, Travelon -- I'm going back to Baggallini.

This petite bag is just the right size to carry around my daily essentials (lots of credit cards, store cards, and business cards, dollar bills, change, a stack of miscellaneous small papers, car keys, mini tape measure, mini scissors, mini pen, little comb, wet wipes (for my toddler), and my GPS). I clip my phone onto the shoulder strap. There are loads of pockets and a larger main compartment. It's just the right size for everything and keeps every item easily accessible. I like that it's small enough to be out of the way when I'm carrying my toddler around. The leather is attractive and a little less casual looking than the microfiber.

I wish there were a store near me that carried a wide range of Travelon's bags. I couldn't decide, so I ordered this Leather Travel Wallet, the Convertible Wallet, and the 3-Compartment Expandable Shoulder Bag.

The Convertible Wallet is larger than the Leather Travel Wallet and has a larger main compartment and lots of places for credit cards, but fewer different sized compartments overall. It comes with a shoulder strap, but I don't see an easy way of wearing it at the waist unless I wear a belt. There is webbing band sewn onto the bag to loop a belt through, which is covered by a flap that closes with a snap. I would have preferred if it had a clip that I could clip onto the waistband of my pants for easy on and off because I don't wear belts (though that would be less secure). The Leather Travel Wallet has a leather band to slip a belt through. I guess that it's right for the right person's needs, but I prefer the Leather Travel Wallet's look, compactness, and compartments.

It was hard to choose between the Leather Travel Wallet and the 3-Compartment Expandable Shoulder Bag for day-to-day use. The 3-Compartment Shoulder Bag is the largest of the three bags, but it's still compact and not too big. It fits everything the Leather Travel Wallet does, in addition to having room inside for my cell phone, my compact camera and a water bottle. The 3-Compartment Shoulder Bag has a wonderful number and variety of pockets within the front, middle and back compartments. The microfiber exterior and inner lining are soft and seem cleanable and durable (though I haven't tried cleaning it yet and have only had it a few days). I think my mother would love it.

Very handy - on belt or with its strap. I have a theoretical concern that the magnet closure could possibly alter the coded magnetic information on a credit/debit card, so I place them away from the magnet. I have had no trouble with that, though. The case is secure and compact and very usable!

This is a great little bag with plenty of card slots and pockets for all my travel items (including my passport, phone, credit cards, a pen and cash). The only thing that I don't like about it is that it is WAY too bulky to fit under my clothes and not very slim lined -- I am an average-sized lady, so maybe someone bigger would be able to, but I doubt it. The major problem that I see with this product is that the magnetic flap that covers the main compartment will not prevent something from flying out if it if I bend over! The magnets are not strong enough to hold the flap in position and the flap leaves gaps...the only thing that I can think of that will make this product worth 4 stars is that there is a zippered compartment within the main compartment that will hold anything small and important. If I out my camera in here, though, I may have issues! I am going to purchase a Velcro strip to seal the compartment as tightly as possible to (hopefully) prevent anything major from sailing away from me!! Even with this issue, I'm very happy with evything else! Love the color and seems sturdy, regardless.

I did not like how this purse closed in the front with a weak magnet. I purchased this purse to use on my Eurotrip, but after looking at it and using it only once I realized how easy it would be for someone to just stick their hand in it and snatch whatever is inside. It does have a zippered back closure for important things, but when I put my camera in the front part, the magnet wasnt even strong enough to hold it in and it kept on opening. Definitely not good for traveling abroad, but I would use it as a shopping purse or for somewhere I dont fear someone will try to rob me.

I was looking for a smaller purse/larger wallet type thing that would hold my essentials (like ID, credit cards, cash, cell phone and lip balm) in an organized fashion and with a shoulder strap. It needed to be small enough that I could carry it around with minimal bulk as well as fit in my briefcase. This meets those criteria but it could be better. My biggest complaint is that things fall out of the larger compartment - like my my lip balm and pen. You can see in the product photo a small gap where the flap comes over the opening. Things fall out through that hole and there really isn't a better compartment to put it in. I also found the big flap kind of annoying. If the flap was sized to allow more stuff to go in the compartment, I could understand it - but you can't. If you're carrying the purse on your shoulder and your cell phone is ringing in the main compartment, all that extra length in the flap gets in the way as you're trying to get in one handed. If you do put too much stuff in the main compartment, it makes the flap stick out which is annoying.

Having said all that, I do like the purse. The irritations are minor and it meets my needs. The only way I could get something perfect would be to design it myself and that's not likely to happen.
